I saw the advertisement for School Transportation Drivers for Special Needs Children.I applied for the position and sent an email to ask about the work hours and my altered schedule. A female representative called from the number 215-486-2555 which is a Pennsylvania number. We spoke about the position, the hours, and the pay. I was then sent 2 emails to began the on-boarding requirements for the driving position. The address listed for the company is in Orlando, Florida. But there is not zip code for the address. I contacted ScamPulse.com in Florida to ask about the company. A ScamPulse.com representative called back later stating she could not find any information about the company. She called the number I provided and it was a dead end. The posted address in Florida is not valid. I am so happy I researched this company before I provided my personal information.

I was contacted through email for a job opportunity as Project Manager. The email stated that they were International Shipping and Trade Company called IP Logistics Co. or International Ports Logistics Co.A person named Annie Bauer with the supposed comany's Human Resources Dept contacted me first with the position offer. Annie asked if I was interested and to fill out some forms for on boarding as a contractor. I completed the forms and sent it back to the address of [email protected]. A supposed second employee from the company's Human Resources Dept emailed me and told me more about the position. His name was Nicholas (Nick) Westerman - [email protected]. I thought that the offer was too good to be true. The company was opening another site in Maryland and needed some to help run the new location. They stated in the email that I would undergo training for four weeks and complete a final test. Once I passed the test, I would be flown to the company headquarters to given an official employment offer and complete another week of training. They stated that all expenses would be paid for the trip, lodging, flights, everything. They also stated that if I did well in the training exams I would received a $5200 check after the end of four week training.

I began training on the week of September 6th, 2022 and completed training on October 10, 2002. I corresponded with Nick throughout the four week training period as he stated he would be my training manager. I received another email on October 4, 2022 that a $5200 check has been processed and it would be sen to my address given to them through on on-boarding papers. After I submitted my final test, I was told that it would take a week to grade and he would reach out with the next training details. I didn't hear from him again until October 14th, 2022, when I sent an email inquiring about my training payment of $5200. He responded that he would contact the Zurich headquarters about the payment. Since then I have not heard from him since or anyone from this supposed company and I just discovered that the International Ports Logistics Co. website is now down and/or no longer exists.

I received a text from a number claiming that they were interested in interviewing me for a position at their company. They did not specify which position that would be. And asked if I was available at 5:30 on 10/31/222 for a zoom interview. I was not familiar with that company, but I recently applied for a lot of jobs on Indeed, and thought I may have forgotten. However, I did not see the posting on my Indeed archive either. Nevertheless, I said that I would be willing to interview, but asked if they could send me the specific position that I applied for. They ignored my question about sending the specific position that I supposedly applied for and said that they would send an email with a link to the zoom interview. They also said that they would send a text message 30 minutes before to confirm.

I received the email with the zoom link on the day of the interview. I looked up the names of the HR representative ("*****) and hiring manager (****** *******") included in the email and could not find them on the company website or on the company's LinkedIn page. I also did not find any job openings related to anything I applied for on the company website. This company would be D2S Inc. which is a legitimate company, but as far as I know, it is not based in the state where I live. And finally, the email address was flagged with a question mark by Gmail, indicating that the email address could not be verified.

In light of all of these inconsistencies, I decided not to go through with the interview. I also received a text to confirm the interview 2 minutes before it was scheduled. Just to be clear, I never attended the interview and only talked to this person a few times through text messages. Regardless, I am almost positive that this was a scam. I applied for several jobs on Indeed in the months leading up to this, so assume that this is how this person got my email and phone number. I am just relaying this information and reminding everyone to always verify the identity of the person interviewing you, particularly for remote interviews.

I have been applying to many jobs recently. I got a text saying they have received my application and told me a little about a customer support remote role for $25 and hour. Asked me reply with "i'm interested" if i was still interested. I replied i was interested. They told me to add [email protected] to my zoom for an interview. I texted back asking what company this is for. No response.

I added mary thomas to my zoom thinking we would have a video chat. This was not the case. It was text only asking me to answer questions. Then told me I needed to buy equipment and they would reimburse me. I asked a lot of other questions that were dismissed and was told I have a limited to time let them know if I would like to move forward...

Looked at this BBB.org site and saw similar patterns.

The Wilson alliance appears to offer part time jobs in cryptocurrency trading. They provide fake appointment letter, asks for account information for salary deposit. Next during “training” phase they ask new joiner to map cash app Zelle with their bank account. Receive $1000 in account credit and then spend $960 to purchase crypto for some investor and keep $40 in personal account. Entire transaction happens from personal account. They cancel the account deposit and “employee” is now obliged to pay the bank. Interview only through phone call.

I wanted to contact you to inform you of a job scam I was lured into. I found the job listed under the jobs tab on LinkedIn. It appeared when I searched for “remote job data entry.” The company is “LSB Industries Inc.” The company name, address and logo were used as part of the job posting.

I applied and was emailed and offered an interview. The interview was conducted via Skype messaging only, leading to me being offered the job that day. I was then emailed a contract and w-4 form to which I completed, signed and returned, with a copy of my drivers license front/back pictured. The scammer then had access to my social security number, knows my address, etc. The contract was very thorough and explained how I would be sent working materials/equipment/software/etc. I was told I would be in contact with a supervisor. The dates of me being sent equipment or getting to interact with the supervisor continued to be pushed back multiple times.

The Skype messaging continued and the ‘hiring manager’ instructed me how to use multiple electronic checks to deposit to my bank and then send money to ‘vendors’ via Apple Pay and Zelle. This continued for 2 weeks. I was told the money sent was being used to purchase software and equipment for my home office.

Once a check bounced and the amount was withdrawn from my account, the ‘hiring manager’ stopped talking with me via Skype.

I have taken all information, emails, Skype messages, and contract/W4 to the police and filed a fraud report. The police instructed me to contact IRS, BBB, Linkedin and LSB Industries.

I thought I was hired for a work from home job. I was supposed to receive packages and take pictures and return them to the nearest UPS or FEDEX store. Basic salary per month was 2000.00 and 50 per package shipped. Payment was to be per mo. I did these things and received the packages, I had a dashboard to go to and information was on that dashboard. But I did not receive pay when expected. I called and no one returned my calls. A lot of expensive products came through me, but I followed the so called employers directions.

The scammer advised that he will send me packages and I would have to open it take photos and mail it out using the labels provided in their website for a base salary of $3,000 plus bonuses for each packages sent I fell for it. I was never paid for my services and I would hate for anyone else to fall for this. When you’re going through trying times you can easily fall for a scam like this.

I received an email from “Impact Renovation Inc” explaining that I had a job offer from “LEAP MARKETING COMPANY” offering $23.75 per hour with various benefits including a 401k. I was asked to get on google chat to complete the interview. There was a few grammatical errors in the messages and when looking up the company, I couldn’t find one that matched the information given. I haven’t filled out information for banking or any of the usual forms you fill out beginning employment.

I was contacted by this company, saying that they viewed my resume' and offered me a job working from home as a shipping clerk. They then proceeded to send me all types of correspondence that appeared to be legit with the hiring process, although there was no in person or Zoom contact. Everything was explained by my 'supervisors' and 'managers' about the pay and how to ship the packages. I was encouraged to download their dashboard manual and study it. Long story short, I shipped a few packages, and things were going okay until my expected pay date came and went, which was about a month from the time of my first shipment. When I started calling to find out where the payment was, I suddenly couldn't get a hold of any of the contacts, and then I also wasn't able to log into the work portal. Called, texted, and left messages all day, and no response. That's when I knew for sure that this was a scam. Unfortunately, they did get some personal info per the employment documents that I filled out. It's awful that people actually create businesses with the sole intent to scam. In hindsight, there were some flags, but there were just enough info to make other things seem legit. SMDH!!

I was offered an interview through email. They then proceeded to conduct the interview via skype. After the interview, I was told I will have to buy certain accounting softwares to be able to do the job. Then was told I will be sent a check in the mail, which I will use to purchase the equipment needed for the job. They then sent me a Form I-9 and employee agreement, which sent with my social security number and ID. They then told me when I deposit the check, I will send them a deposit slip as well from my bank. This is when I realized this must be a scam.

I was reached out to about an interview. I had been applying on LinkedIn and indeed and assumed it was a job I applied for on one of them. The interview was scheduled for the following day where i was told it would be conducted on Ring Central, an app similar to Zoom. I anticipated a video call but the interview actually consisted of 11 questions via instant messenger - that was all. It was about 20min long. The next day, I received an offer letter (see attached) with the official name and address of the company. I looked it up online and it shows this company is permanently closed and, actually, that their CEO was just sentenced to prison time for FDA fraud (just sentenced as in September of 2022). I called the 2 phone numbers listed on the website, one was disconnected and the other directed me to a plasma donation center.

I don't believe this business is active anymore and the entire interview process left me with a bad taste in my mouth which only got worse once I found the company online.

The pay, benefits, and job duties are all very attractive and I feel could easily trap other people into believing it and giving these scammers access to their personal information if they believe they have secured a job with this "company"

Thank you for your time and consideration. I also have screenshots of the emails if those would be beneficial.
